Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

"The purpose of this textbook is to serve as an introduction to and an overview of the field of biomedical engineering. Although it is not possible to cover all of the biomedical engineering domains in this textbook, the editors have made an effort to focus on most of the major fields of activity in which biomedical engineers are engaged.". "The chapters of Introduction to Biomedical Engineering are written to provide an historical perspective of the major developments in specific biomedical engineering domains, as well as the fundamental principles underlying biomedical engineering design, analysis, and modeling procedures in those domains. Numerous examples, drill problems, and exercises are used to reinforce concepts and develop problem solving skills. In addition to the instruction within the book, the editors are maintaining a web site for relevant laboratory simulations and links to other biomedical engineering web sites."--BOOK JACKET.
